Mahrez could be an ideal signing for Arsenal at this moment in time as they face the departure of Alexis Sanchez either this winter or in the summer.

The Chile international is out of contract at the Emirates Stadium at the end of the season and the Daily Telegraph report that City are weighing up a possible early move for him in the coming weeks due to Gabriel Jesus’ recent injury.

Mahrez is a similarly dangerous and versatile attacking player, who has the added bonus of knowing the Premier League well and even winning it in Leicester’s shock triumph of 2015/16 – more than many of Arsene Wenger’s current squad have managed.
